Yes, that Heidi Fleiss, the “Hollywood Madam” who gained notoriety in the 1990s for her role in a high-priced prostitution ring.

Fleiss, 49, had been spending time in the Wine Country with her 15 or so exotic birds and onetime prison buddy Judy Bailey-Savage. A falling out last year with the woman escalated from dueling lawsuits and restraining order requests to criminal charges.

The dispute, brewing since 2013, centered around ownership of a house on Air Park Drive. Each woman said the home was rightfully hers.

Riverside County sheriff’s officials said deputies were called out to the property more than a dozen times from August through November last year. The trail of court orders was so convoluted that patrol deputies had to enlist investigators from the Southwest Station detective bureau to sort it all out.

Bailey-Savage, 61, appears for now to have won the battle over the house. But she and her adult son are facing criminal charges, including felony vandalism and grand theft, in which Fleiss is named as the victim.

“It’s been a real nightmare,” Bailey-Savage said in a recent conversation, recounting the saga with Fleiss, whom she described as her ex-girlfriend. “I asked her to leave and all hell broke loose.”

Bailey-Savage said she thinks Fleiss is trying to destroy her life. She said Fleiss has misled authorities about the ownership of the house and more.

Fleiss, for her part, said Bailey-Savage took advantage of her and led her to believe the house would be hers.

“I want my money back,” Fleiss said.

TRADING ALLEGATIONS

Bailey-Savage and her son, Brett Bailey, 27, are scheduled for arraignment April 7 in the felony case. Prosecutors allege the mother destroyed a bed and mattress belonging to Fleiss and the son stole Fleiss’s pricey linens on Oct. 1.

They also are charged with trespassing in a Nov. 21 incident and misdemeanor vandalism after authorities say they surrounded a car Fleiss and two other women were sitting in Oct. 24, pounding on it and throwing rocks.

Bailey-Savage’s attorney, Nic Cocis, said he expects the criminal charges will be dismissed once prosecutors get all the facts.

Bailey-Savage said she and Fleiss had been friends for many years and had been romantically involved in the past. Recently, Fleiss was struggling to care for her roughly 20 pet macaws and having substance abuse issues, she said.

“She was broke and couldn’t feed the birds,” Bailey-Savage said.

Fleiss’s difficulties caring for her flock and her battle with substance abuse are well documented – they were the topic of two reality TV shows in the past decade.

Bailey-Savage wanted to help her out, she said. So, in 2013, Fleiss came to stay with her in the Wine Country home she shared with her wife and children. The couple operates an animal rescue on their 20-acre property and they were prepared to handle Fleiss’s macaws.

Ultimately, however, the living arrangement sowed discord between Bailey-Savage and her wife. In Dec. 2013, Bailey-Savage, her son, Fleiss and the macaws all moved into to the Air Park Drive house, which sits on a neighboring property. Things continued to go downhill from there.

In a lawsuit, filed in September, Bailey-Savage alleged Fleiss’s birds wrecked the Air Park Drive house – chewing up the woodwork and leaving droppings everywhere.

“The smell inside the house is horrific,” Bailey-Savage wrote in supporting documents. “There is poop dripping down the walls and doors. The birds have eaten the doors and hinges off kitchen and bathroom cabinets.”

She said she couldn’t get into the house to get a damage estimate “because I am attacked by birds.”

Fleiss, meanwhile, has retreated to her home in Pahrump, Nevada, with her flock. Speaking over the phone, with macaws squawking in the background, she said the entire Temecula episode was an embarrassment.

“This whole thing was so unnecessary,” she said.

Fleiss said she and Bailey-Savage met in in federal prison and denied that they had been in a dating relationship. She said she moved to Temecula to grow marijuana with Bailey-Savage -- who also operates a medical marijuana collective -- and to purchase the Air Park Drive home. Fleiss said she had no opportunities in Nevada and wanted to move back to Los Angeles.

“It was a stepping stone,” she said.

Though it’s true she was struggling to care for her birds and “was coming off drugs a bit,” Fleiss said she sold a piece of artwork to raise money for the house.

Fleiss said she takes in unwanted birds – she doesn’t believe they should be pets and lets them roam free in her home.

“My birds are a big part of my life,” she said. “They’re loud … They’re messy. But they have my heart.”

Fleiss said she eventually had to leave the house in Temecula because Bailey-Savage and her associates were harassing her and terrorizing her birds.

The worst part, Fleiss said, was that she lost several macaws during her stay in Wine Country. One disappeared, another succumbed to lead poisoning. (She said she had a necropsy done to determine the cause of death.) Others were attacked and killed by Bailey-Savage’s dogs.

Fleiss filed a small claims court case against Bailey-Savage over the death of one macaw, Shamrock, in the jaws of Frosty the “wolf dog.”

Fleiss conceded that she did not handle the situation with Bailey-Savage well, but said she was under stress from the injury and subsequent death of her father last summer. Her biggest mistake, she said, was failing to get her agreement with Bailey-Savage in writing.

“I’m admitting right now, I did really stupid things,” she said. “I’m growing marijuana with them. My birds are in their living room ... Yeah, I’m an idiot.”
